Married for Revenge Chapter 41
Luke's POVAs usual, the house was cold, cold enough to make plenty of ice. Scarlett still avoided me and I finally let her be, she is not the only woman I know, after all.I am a handsome man and I know of so many ladies that are dying and will do anything at all to have me be with them, a lady like Isabella.After the night of the refusal, I tried my luck again, severally, hoping Scarlett will have a change of heart. Her heart became stronger and she yelled greatly at me the next day. It was of no use to me, her tantrums will only make things worse for her, not me. She is yet to find out the type of man that I am. It was another evening and I was prepared to be in the bar, as usual. Ever since the treatment from Scarlett, the bar has been my very solace, although I don't come back home drunk after visiting the bar, I come back home with cigarette smell and its smoke oozing from my mouth and Scarlett said nothing about it.She went on with her duties of serving me my food, alway

Luke's POVAnother week arrived and Scarlett still said nothing to me.I woke up to remind myself of how busy the day and week will be for me and the men at work, excluding the Boss whose job is to give his orders and smoke from the pipe he always held, watching us do according to his bidding. "Good morning," I greeted Scarlett when I jumped out of bed. She simply nodded, as usual, watching me go into the bathroom. I scrubbed my body than the normal way, fear tickled me and I imagined the warehouse getting screwed up, maybe someday. "Nothing lasts forever, it just takes some time," people would say, including Boss, owner of the warehouse."Some day, we will get caught and sleep in jail, maybe for the rest of our lives," I remembered his words to me when I began working for him. "But, then, strive hard for that day not to come," he told me again before handing the document of membership to me. I didn't have to hear Boss's words before being told that I would get caught, someday.It c

Scarlett's POVI had guessed right that Luke will make it to the house on time, very much on time than the normal evening time or maybe at night. I have missed him so much and it dawned on me that the punishment I served him had become too much already, I was not only punishing Luke, I was punishing myself.He left for his place of work by morning. I resorted to allowing him to make his breakfast by himself with my own intentions of making something for him to eat before he gets back. He greeted me for the past week in the mornings and the least I did was nod my head, what kind of a wife greets her husband like that? It was almost evening time when I heard his car drive into the house, I took one peep at the window and I saw his car drive right into the house. The butterflies in my stomach resumed its game of love and I ran into the kitchen, adjusting my outfit and ran out again with a diner pot, filled to the brim with well-flavoured, well prepared food. I stood beside one of the

Ethan's POVI worked in the office when a text came into my phone, it beeped severally and I left what I was doing to take a look at the screen. "On our way, Boss." It was Matthew's text. I got up to peep at the window to see if they had arrived already but they hadn't. I sat down on my seat again to continue with my work, attending to files and wondering what must have happened, for Matthew to send an urgent text, in broad daylight. I was too impatient and tried reaching out to Matthew to ask what had happened when he declined my call, sending a text, "on the wheel, boss," it read and I remembered it was Matthew that rode the car almost every time. I thought of sending a text to James and the tiny being that lives in me screamed at me to wait and they would arrive just sooner than I am expecting. It took two hours for the men to arrive at my office, they must have gone to some other place before heading to the office, two hours was way too long for an ordinary trip from Matthew

Amelia's POVI rode in Ethan's car as early as after the time he left for work. I was on my way to the hospital and I wanted to be the first person to see the doctor on appointment.Tye and I booked an appointment the previous day and I got up very early in the morning to prepare for my outing. I made a crackling sound and Ethan turned on the bed to see a towel around me, he blinked severally, unsure of what he had seen before looking at the wall clock."What are you doing?" He asked and I shook my head, "I'm leaving for the hospital, I told you last night," I said, walking to the wardrobe to select an outfit for the day. "You told me, I remember," he rubbed his eyes, sitting up on the bed and looking at the wall clock again. "Is it not too early?""I'm just preparing, Ethan," I explained, "I will leave after your driver takes you to work," I said again and he nodded, laying back on the bed. He woke up after some time to see me all dressed. I was in the kitchen, transferring eggs fr

Amelia's POVI stared at the printed script for sometime, digesting what I had seen moments ago."I am also fertile," I muttered to myself, "ninety nine point nine percent fertile," I said again, my eyes on the row with the 'positive' caption scribbled on it."Yes," Tye nodded, "I thought you would not get to see it on time," he scoffed and I smiled. "Thank you, doctor," I greeted, grabbed my handbag to leave."When it happens, take plenty of veggies, and do workouts, not all the time, we would get to talk frequently," Tye said when I got close to the door. I nodded, muttered a 'thank you' and left his office. I made my way back to the reception hall, the ladies that saw me walk in waved at me when I walked past their tables."Enjoy your day," I said to them before walking out. I made my way to the lot where the driver parked the car to wait for me. I didn't waste too much time hopping on the back seat. I placed my handbag on the chair beside me and asked the young man to move the

Carl's POVI have done a great job by changing the house's appearance lately. The men I employed were people that studied their jobs as courses in college, not some wack workers that knew nothing about house designing and renovations."Do this, do that," was the only and all Tessa could say while the men that worked obeyed her instructions. She knows what she wants for the house, afterall. My own job was to provide the money required for the men's payment. Days ago, the men finished with the contract and the house sparkled in all its glory, the children's room, inclusive although it was of no use any longer, the room Tessa and I shared shone as well. The walls were repainted and the tiles all changed to Tessa's preference. The kitchen cabinet was removed and a new one took over the old one's place."Thank you, honey," Tessa greeted when everything was sorted. "The house now makes more sense, we can host a party if we ever want to," she praised and I smiled. "Ofcourse, my money did
Married for Revenge Chapter 48
Ethan's POVIt was a few days after Amelia returned from the hospital that she finally got to tell me the report. I, myself, was too impatient to wait, so I put a call to Tye to ask all the questions that raced in my head:"Good morning, Tye," it was the early hours of the morning when I called him. I had left the room for Amelia and made my way to the living room, I didn't want to wake her when I made the decision.I sat down on a couch to have my discussion, the sitting position wasn't too good and I laid down on the couch. "Good morning, sir," Tye greeted in reciprocation, "how is the home?" He asked again and I told him how fine we are, although we aren't. The courage to lay down on the same bed with Amelia to have sex triggers the resting blood in my veins to pump harder than normal. "Tell me everything," I told him and he began a tale of his own. Of all the doctor said, what I picked in his words was the part of the report that talks about Amelia being ninety nine point nine
